As a real estate agent, I along with my team often get calls about investors looking for 1031 investments. When selling a property owned for a long period of time especially in New York City where prices historically have skyrocketed over the years, the owners are often exposed to capital gains. So, their options were always primarily to pay the taxes on the capital gains which can in some cases be as high as 35% +/-  or enter a 1031 like-kind exchange where you replace the sold property for a similar property.  

 

There is now a new program in New York State under the Federal Job Acts of 2017 that provides an alternative for investors facing capital gains. An opportunity zone is a low census tract with an individual poverty rate of 20% or more…

I was thrilled to read an article from New York Post on St. George being listed as one of the hottest NYC neighborhoods for 2019. We are proud to be one of the pioneering firms in St. George and Stapleton over the last few years. Casandra Properties has been involved in many projects on the North Shore.

Trees and Gazebo in the parkOne of the most charming communities in Staten Island is Westerleigh, bordered by Manor Road to the east; New York State Route 440 to the west, Victory Boulevard to the south, and Forest Avenue to the north.

Westerleigh was once known as Prohibition Park. The community was founded in 1887 by the National Prohibition Campground…
